Several structures at the Kaajaano Fishing Community in the La Dadekotopon Municipality have been demolished in an early morning operation, leaving dozens of residents homeless and in distress.
The exercise, which reportedly took place around 6:00 a.m., involved the use of bulldozers and other heavy-duty equipment. Eyewitnesses say the demolition team was led by an individual identified only as “Gyato,” who was accompanied by a group of men overseeing the operation.
Residents described the exercise as sudden and unannounced, with many caught off guard as their homes were torn down. Families were seen scrambling to salvage personal belongings from the debris as structures were reduced to rubble.
The demolition has displaced numerous households, forcing affected individuals—many of whom are fisherfolk and traders—to seek temporary shelter under precarious conditions.
